Sonya talks about the Monets
they have seen
about the rain they got caught in afterwards
and how they ran for the nearest shelter
and how they laughed
and others thought them mad.
Benny thinks about the waitress
in the Parisian cafe
who served them lattes and cream cakes
how the waitress smiled at him
and how her hips swayed
as she moved away
how he could imagine her
embraced in his arms.
Tonight Sonya says
we're to see the string quartet
play Bartok quartets.
He nods and smiles
and have dinner after
in the restaurant we like
he replies
taking in her eyes.
He preferred the Van Goghs to the Monets
and that line at the back
of the waitress's stockings
all the way up and out of sight.
She talks about that horrible fish meal
they had the other day.
He listens to the Mozart sonata on the radio
in their room in the cheap hotel
as Sonya undresses out of her wet clothes.
He imagines it is the French waitress
preparing for him removing clothing piece by piece
the Mozart is done
and a moment of peace.
